Campus Violence• Colleges and Universities are often seen as “safe
havens” immune from violence– When violence does occur, it is quite shocking and
disturbing
• Campus violence DOES occur every year– Assault, rape, hazing, fighting, dating violence,
sexual harassment, hate crimes, rioting, disorderly conduct, property crime, self-harm, suicide, and school shootings

What Causes Violence?• There is no single factor that leads to violence.
– Violent behaviors are shaped through a variety of ways including individual, group, institutional, and community influences Source: Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention
• Some research has shown that the two leading causes of violence are:– Previous Experience with Violence or a Violent Act
– Substance abuse of alcohol and/or other drugsSource: US Department of Health and Human Services
• Those with mental health issues are NOT
more likely commit violence. Rather, they are
more likely to be victims of it!Source: US Department of Health and Human Services

to violence through education, skill building, curriculum infusion.
– Support healthy group norms and promoting bystander intervention.
– Create and convey clear expectations and policies for conduct among students, faculty, staff, and visitors and institute training programs to ensure that policies are followed and
enforced.
